Ordered a portion of chips, very small. Used to go here often but disappointed overall this time. Salad was not of good quality and tasted like it wasn’t very fresh. Fizzy drinks quite expensive and glass not overly clean.Toilets very basic

I am giving this five as it is a museum piece. Opened in 1976 it has never changed. Been decorated regularly, but kept the original features. So if you want a 70's cafe with frothy coffee & fried food this is the place. They do have the modern coffee & up to date delights of the 21st century, but keep the old favourites. The breakfast are fun as are the lunches. Some good photos of old Shaftesbury on display. The manager has been there for 43 years, so the owners must be great too.

Very pet friendly, our little one (if she had thumbs)! would give it the big thumbs up, especially when she was presented with a yummy sausage. we had a lovely fry up and a coffee, food was lovely coffe a bit weak, but I guess that's an individual preference. definitely recommend though.

I Had breakfast today in the John Peel in Shaftesbury, Ham,Egg and Chips. After a half hour wait my foot arrived and i decided to put some vinegar on my chips, I wasn't quite looking at where the vinegar was going as i was also reading a text i had just received. When i stoped and looked at my food it was covered in eight dead flies which came out the vinegar bottle.I reported this to the lady at the till who didn't seem to interested, I picked the flies out and put them on my napkin ate two chips and left feeling very disgusted in the whole thing.Don't thing i will be going back thereAlan

Good quality food, nicely presented in this relaxed cafe in Shaftesbury. Really well worth a visit. Lovely breakfast and very good price

Cheap and cheerful. It's not gourmet but we're a family of 5 and all had something different and everyone was happy and full up. The staff are helpful and friendly and will cook stuff not on the menu if they can. I asked for 2 extra tea bags for my pot of tea which he happily gave me as I like my tea strong. We keep coming back here whenever we visit Shaftesbury.
